Eurowind Energy has reached the ready-to-build stage for two solar projects in Portugal and recently commissioned an additional photovoltaic (PV) plant, the company said on Thursday.
On July 21, Eurowind completed the acquisition of the 20-megawatt (MW) Aveiro clusters, which include the 15MW Avanca and 5MW Esqueira sites, both developed by Arada Green. Construction has now commenced on these projects, with two more clusters expected to follow later this year.
In August, the company also finalized the purchase of the 10MW Vale da Missa solar project in Borba, Alentejo. Developed by Pentagab and Enerfont, the project involved coordination with more than 80 landowners and represents Eurowind’s southernmost asset in Portugal.
Additionally, Eurowind has brought online the 5MW Enxara do Bispo PV plant near Lisbon, comprising five 1MW units across 13 hectares on two land parcels.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to witness such high activity across our portfolio in Portugal,” said Joaquim Pinto, Eurowind’s country manager for Portugal. “Seeing these projects take shape not only reflects the dedication of our team and partners but also reinforces our growing commitment to contribute to the energy transition in Portugal.”
Eurowind currently operates over 50 megawatts peak (MWp) of solar capacity in Portugal, with an additional 50MWp under construction. Its pipeline in the country exceeds 1.5 gigawatts (GW), including plans for repowering existing assets and hybridisation with battery storage and wind power.
